This report is a short edition of the
Forecast Horoscope.
It is meant as a sample and advertisement for the full version of the Forecast Horoscope which
can be
ordered from Astrodienst as a bound report of about 15 - 20 pages.

In the short edition, only a few, but nevertheless important transits over your natal chart
are considered. It is likely however that some important transits of this six month period
have been omitted in this abbreviated report.

The report was generated for 6 months starting from the 1st of February 2018 with the
following birth data: male, born on 22 November 1986 at 10:30 am in Pretoria, South Africa.

Your sun sign is Scorpio. This is the sign in which the Sun is in your birth chart. Your
Ascendant is in Aquarius, and your Moon is in Leo.

In case you are wondering why you are addressed as Scorpio in this report: If you had been
born 6 hours 15 minutes later, you would be the subsequent sign Sagittarius. The exact hour at
which the sun moves from one sign into the next is different every year.

These reports will select the really relevant themes of a 12-month period for you, and deal with them in depth and style.

About this short report

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

Neptune trine Mercury: Intellect and intuition

Mid-March 2017 until beginning of January 2019: This is one of the most imaginative periods of
your life in a positive way. Your mind will be able to create with unusual facility, but you
will still be able to distinguish between reality and the products of your imagination. If
you have ever wanted to write prose or poetry, this is the time to try, although success in
this area requires some indication of writing ability in the birth chart.

This influence signifies one of the few times in life when the rational intellect and the
intuitive and feeling functions are able to work as a team. For most people these two areas
of the mind usually operate at cross-purposes. But now they can cooperate, which is what
makes this such a fertile time.

Fortunately, the intuitive sensitivity stimulated by this influence extends to your
relationships with others. You understand what people are thinking with much less verbal
communication than usual, almost as if you can look into their minds and see what is happening
there. Consequently your efforts to communicate with others will be much more effective now.
Others will understand and appreciate the fact that you understand them.

You are likely to take an intellectual interest in metaphysical and spiritual subjects at this
time, and your innate psychic abilities may be manifested. But your approach to these
subjects is a bit different from most people's. You demand that spiritual matters make sense
to you intellectually as well as intuitively. You want to know, not merely to believe. But
your newly intuitive sensibility tells you that there are limits to understanding through
rational intellect. Your understanding of almost any subject is greatly heightened by this
influence.

If you are involved in any kind of teaching, this influence will be an invaluable aid. You
will be able to communicate what you know in such a way that others really understand the
subject and also your experience of it.

Mid-March 2017 until mid-January 2019: This is one of the most idealistic times in your life.
This influence arouses your natural sympathies for others and makes you want to help them.
You may help some person close to you who needs assistance, or you may work with sick and
disadvantaged persons in an institutional setting or with charities that aid such people.

This influence may also motivate you to work in some other way to actualize your ideals. Now
it is not enough to simply believe in something, you want to make your beliefs come true as
well. But you may tend to believe that what you want to be true is true, even when it isn't.
Do not get carried away by your idealism.

During this time you may also begin to take an interest in philosophy and religion. You are
very concerned now about how you fit into the universal order, and you are more inclined to
deal with abstract issues and how they relate to your life. In fact you may not want to
bother with the everyday aspects of life, feeling that they are beneath your concern.
Needless to say, that attitude can get you into trouble. Nevertheless, if you can keep track
of life's daily requirements, you will also be able to gain insights into your life that will
make it much more meaningful.

This influence can also give you a foolish confidence that anything you do will work out all
right. As a result you may take risks and gambles or actually indulge in gambling. This is
not an especially lucky or unlucky influence. All it does is make you confuse your wishes
with reality and make you act according to your wishes. It is not a good time to make
long-term investments, because you are seeing the world through rose-colored glasses and are
unwilling to look at business affairs in the cold, hard manner that is required.

Jupiter trine Jupiter: An opportunity

Beginning of December 2017 until beginning of August 2018: This influence usually represents a
time of optimism and positive thinking in your life. You seem to be at a quiet point of
balance that enables you to look over the affairs of your life and get a good perspective on
them. Therefore, it is a good time to make long-range plans and to reorganize. You should
use this time to gain new perspectives through education or travel or by participating in one
of the consciousness raising activities or groups that exist now.

This is a time of psychological and physical equilibrium. If you have recently been ill in
either body or mind, this influence will help tremendously with the healing process.

This is also a good time to examine your ideals and your goals, for it may be possible to
actualize them in various ways now. At other times there is too much tension in your life or
too much resistance from others. If you are involved in any movement for reform, now is a
good time to take some positive action. Or you might become more involved in religion or
philosophy, because you need to know much that is beyond the apparent order of things.

It is quite possible that you will do nothing during this time, because it gives you a feeling
of balance but no drive to do anything in particular. You have an unusual sense of ease and
relaxation now. This is also a good time to travel, both for relaxation and for educational
reasons.

The important point to remember with this influence is that it is fundamentally an
opportunity. You will not feel driven by any energies, nor will you feel any resistance to
your efforts to do something. You can make great use of this time, but you have to take the
initiative.

Saturn conjunction Neptune: Involuntary detachment

Mid-January 2018 until beginning of November 2018: During this time you may have to contend
with negative moods that can be quite upsetting. This influence often results in confusion,
self-doubt, uncertainty and a general tendency to look at life from the worst possible point
of view. At its worst, it can make you completely uncertain about what is real in your life,
resulting in a sense of fear and free-floating anxiety. However, it is important to remember
that this influence usually makes things appear worse than they actually are.

Your confidence and sense of well-being are at a low at this time, and you should not take
your own gloomy evaluations too seriously. You seem to be aware of only those facets of life
that you are afraid of and totally unaware of those things that can comfort and reinforce you.

Strange as it may seem, there is a constructive side to this period, although most people
usually experience the negative side. But if you are very well attuned to your inner needs
and secure enough not to be led astray by illusions, even fearful ones, then this influence
can give you the ability to make extraordinary self-sacrifices. One effect of this period is
to detach you from the material universe. In that case you may become disoriented and afraid,
as described already, or you may find that the demands of the material universe no longer
concern you particularly, and you can sacrifice your material needs to spiritual needs.

Either way, your perception of reality at this time is quite different from what it normally
is, which you should take into consideration when making any plans for the future.

End of January 2018 until mid-November 2018: At this time your relationships will work for you
in very practical ways. You understand how you need to have others work with you, and you are
willing to meet the other person's needs within a relationship as long as he or she does the
same for you. At this point in your life, you are not particularly idealistic.

Professional and business relationships fulfill the symbolism of this influence perfectly.
Both parties are concerned about what each expects of the other, and both are willing to live
up to the agreements that are made. If there are real differences, you will work to smooth
them out. You will not just sit back and assume that it will all work out by itself.

If a sexual relationship begins during this time there may be a considerable age difference
between the two of you. The older partner may act as a kind of teacher-parent toward the
younger. You may be either the younger or the older partner. Even if there is no age
difference, the teacher-parent aspect will probably still exist.

This influence also gives you the ability to work on particularly exacting and detailed
creative projects, especially involving media that require very involved techniques. Any
craft work you do now is probably aimed at producing useful objects.

On the whole, all your relationships will achieve a degree of stability at this time.
Ultimately relationships survive only if they are able to satisfy the real needs of the people
involved. You are particularly conscious of this now, so you examine your relationships
accordingly. The more real your relationships are now, the better.

Saturn sextile Pluto: On target

End of February 2018 until mid-December 2018: During this time you will be able to withstand
great tests of strength if you have to. Your own power and internal strength form a structure
that can withstand considerable difficulty. You can work hard and focus tremendous energy on
the tasks before you.

Within yourself you have some understanding of the forces that make you an individual. You
know exactly what you can demand of yourself, and you push yourself to the limit, but not
beyond. Consequently this can be a time of great achievements.

At the same time you will voluntarily restrict the focus of your energies, which makes them
even more effective. You understand what area to work on, so your focused energy hits exactly
the right target. Fortunately this principle applies to work that you do within yourself as
well as in the external world.

In the outer world the manifestations of this influence are many and varied. First, you will
probably work harder than you have in many years, and the work will be extremely productive.
People will see that your achievements have grown directly out of your inner being, that they
are a product of your own growth. In your work, your employers will see that you apply
yourself with unusual diligence to the tasks at hand, and they will be favorably impressed.
They will recognize that you are someone to be reckoned with. This may well be a time of
professional advancement.
